About the workproject

We need 1 volunteer

I run a startup business in Brazil called Yourcasa (you can check our website: www.yourcasa.com.br).
We (my business partner and I) would like to host a volunteer who aims to learn about the work routine of a startup company and collaborate to the business by offering something in exchange (it can be language classes, help on the developing of new projects for the business, teach us someting, etc...).

I am a Production Engineer in Brazil. Since I got the engineer degree (4 years ago) I've been working as consultant at various kinds of companies in my country, which provided me a long experience on industrial process management and continuous improvement projects. Besides the consulting activities I also run my own small business, a business directory website called Yourcasa. You can check it out by the link www.yourcasa.com.br

I am a very social person who likes to practice outdoors activities and being on the nature. I am also a vegetarian.
